Preseason week 1: Colts at Bills
Coffeesforclosers replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
All I want from this game are healthy starters and solid rookie performances. If Kromer's OL beats some people up, ill take that too. -
Maybe he's the guy that gets lost delivering the pizza?

So what. Only one of those countries is actually our equal in wealth, capability, and military might. And China has plenty of its own problems to worry about. Russia desperately wants to be seen as our equal, and unfortunately they do have a mountain of soviet nukes and oceans of oil. But Ukraine is giving them all they can handle right now, and their so called "allies" are either ignoring them, or bending them over a table for rock bottom oil prices. Everyone who could take advantage of our weakness, is busy shooting themselves in the foot or reaping what theyve sown. It's pure, dumb luck for us, but it is what it is.

I've never actually seen someone claim the Nazis weren't fascists. Who's your source for this claim? Fascists and socialists are pretty easy to seperate too. Fascists believe a specific people or group have a special destiny, which is their birthright, that they can chase regardless of the cost to others. Socialists believe nationality, race,religion, etc are all barriers thrown up to prevent the unification of the global working class. Fascists think history ends when their nation or people achieves its destiny. Socialists think history ends when a raceless, religionless, stateless worker's paradise. You can't reconcile those sets of ideas, so socialists and fascists are different. Not that you'd want to live under either government at all. It also seems weird that people would trace totalitarianism to socialism. You'd think Sparta would be the first example of totalitarianism. Everyone thought they were free, it's just that their government told them how to live, what to worship, when to get married, when to have kids, and what they'd spend their lives doing from the day they were born. Not to mention the eugenics/infanticide they practiced.

Sadly, I'll believe it when I see it. Most Ukraine's attacks so far have been contained or beaten back. Which is a shame, but but doesn't take away from the fact that when Russia decides to take something, they usually do, even if it costs weeks and thousands of lives. At least since Russia un*****ed themselves in April. Ukraine cant win the war by digging a hole and hoping to wait the Russians out. Thats a hell of a gamble.

Yeah. Social media is a cancer. Twitter in specific. Get off of social media if you want to keep a clear head. The twitterverse, and the instant-gratification addicted, validation-obsessed echo chambers it spawns are whats actually wrong with this country. No wonder Musk dropped them like a hot potato. Seperating the useful accounts from the bots, trolls, and propaganda is like picking corn out of a dump truck full of *****. And this is just one more example of how too much power is accumulated in the executive branch. I'll start reading my Constitution for where it outlines the duties and privileges of the Office of the Ex-President. I'll let y'all know when I find them.

The Best “One Year Wonders” in Bills History

I hope so, but I wouldn't bet on it. There's a lot more to North Korea's state ideology and the Kims' personality cult than just communism. North Korean defectors are strange because they frequently miss it there, and return voluntarily. In a nutshell, it's because they're raised to believe tha North Koreans are the gentlest, most generous, most innocent and most moral people on the planet. So they have to obey the Kims without question and live in an armed camp, or they'll all be conquered and murdered. Check this talk out. Its a long talk. The Cleanest Race by BR Myers

Fox news is the most popular media outlet in the country, and its not even close. Has been for years if not decades. So what does it matter if "The Media" skews left, but the overwhelming majority of media consumers chose to consume media that skews right? How can they be victims of this vast liberal media complex if they dont watch it, ever?

DR sees the world entirely in Red vs. Blue glasses. His "side" happens to be Red. You can compare and contrast him to say, Sherpa, who supports Ukraine and wants them to win, but sees clear practical limits to the amount of support we can provide. The limits are based on our military readiness, possible enemies (read, China), and obligations around the globe.

It wouldn't. NATO's mutual defense clause only applies to an attack on a member in North America or Europe. NATO has no obligation to back us up if China attacked Guam or Hawaii. It's also the reason why the UK had to take on Argentina by itself over the Falklands. However, if for whatever reason those North Koreans attacked say Poland or the Baltics, yeah, then the balloon goes up.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. But this is the same China who we practically begged to help stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine and avert this war. Which would have been the ideal solution for everyone. And its the same China that pretty much laughed in our face, told the Russians we were on to them, and cheered Russia on from the sidelines. When China thought Russia was going to conquer the country in four days, of course.
